A SUSTAINABLE data centre

Using cold fjord water to cool a data centre deep within a mountain is a bold idea. With Schneider EcoStruxure™ IT, Green Mountain innovates data centre cooling while supporting the critical uptime needs of its customers, operating one of the most SUSTAINABLE data centres in the world.

• So how did one colocation facility, built in a former NATO bunker buried deep within a mountain, turn the tables and use the power of nature to become one of the world’s most reliable and sustainable data centers?

Solution

• When Green Mountain decided to implement the idea of a green data center, they needed contractors and suppliers that had the most energy efficient and reliable solutions available in the market.

• Powered by 100% renewable hydro power, Green Mountain supports the critical uptime needs of its customers and operates as one of the greenest data centers in the world with close to zero CO2 emissions.
